Try and do something you love when designing. If you don’t love what your doing then your going to have a bad time and will show in your design.

- Consume inspiration.
Read, write, go for a walk, listen to music, collect quotes, draw, paint. Do anything that will spark some creativity. Sometimes starting a design is the hardest part.

Be as curious as possible. Try something you’ve never done before if you don’t like it then never do it again, at least you know. Ask a lot of questions because there’s no such thing as a wrong question.

Always do process work. Just because it’s your first idea doesn’t mean it will be your best. Do as much as you can then choose your best idea.

Going with the first answer or solution can kill future ones.
